Title: Cloud Applications and User Settings
Course: CTS 2307 Windows Management > Section: Module 2

Introduction

Windows 8 supports the installation of traditional programs and software as well as Windows Apps which are cloud based packaged apps available from the Windows Store that are designed to run on multiple platforms such as desktops, laptops and tablets. Many organizations support Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies which enable workers to use their personal computing devices or smart phones to enhance their productivity and provide convenient access to enterprise networked resources or applications. In this module you will configure group policies to limit access to the Windows Store and use SkyDrive to manage files and folders in cloud based services.
